Bullpacs Review! A+
« on: June 22, 2015, 10:56:22 AM »
Hey guys I had the opportunity to test out one of the HW Sponsors products. Sam @ Bullpacs is a great guy and these pack frames are simply amazing. Check out my review below.

I've had one for several years, LOVE mine.  Great for packing bait in and critters out.

Well, because, like I said in the review I used the pack to haul quite a load of sheds during the shed season. I also had both of my daughters stand on the frame and I strapped them in and walked around the block with them comfortably. I walked with an oversized decoy bag with 4 dozen decoys with weights around my block. So as I stated in my review it was not hunting season but I did my best to replicate it. My shed hunting trip was every bit as grueling as any elk hunting day trip I have ever been on. I might not have had a huge slab of meat on the pack but I am very confident in my testing and the packs ability to handle anything that I will put on it in the future. So again I say A+.

Nice review.  I love mine, I just strap my fanny pack to it and go over the edge and start hunting. When I get something I strap it to the pack and then tie the fanny pack to the top of the load.  The waist band and shoulder straps are padded so well you don't really feel the pack when it is not loaded.  The padding really helps when you are loaded and makes the job seem easier than it is.  Once you get a load on and the straps adjusted to your liking it is actually easier to just keep walking than to stop and take a break.

I recommend this pack to anyone that does a lot of packing. Two thumbs up from me,  :tup: :tup:
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I've run my bullpac for 10+ years.  It has seen quite a few loads in the 100-150lb range (packing meat).  Plus a lot of lighter hiking loads.  It is still in solid shape.  My brother and my dad both have one as well.  I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a serious pack frame.   :tup:

I have used many different kinds and I stopped looking after I used one.  I purchased one and have never looked back.  Great pack in my opinion.  I have packed out a lot of elk with it with the most recent last years elk.   I think it is a very good pack.

Thanks guys!  We understand everybody has different tastes and we don't claim to be the Holy Grail of packs.  Heck, we have a  dozen different packs in the shop (Nimrod, Tenzing, Eberlestock, Badlands, etc...) that we use routinely, depending on the circumstances.  They all have their place and there's no one perfect pack for everything and every style of hunting.  And while they're all great packs for hunting, when it comes to packing meat or hauling heavy loads, it's tough to beat a good, solid external frame pack like the Bull Pac.  They may not be as flashy or have as many bells and whistles, but they're reasonably priced, comfortably built and darn near indestructible... and replacement parts are readily available if your new puppy chews a bloody shoulder strap in half or you set it too close to the campfire and melt a pad or webbing.

We're always trying to think outside the box, so keep an eye on our website or follow us on Facebook... never know when our next idea might fill a niche that you have?

Thanks again!

Sam & Melissa

thanks for the reply.  Which pack of yours would most resemble a 7,500 cu in pack like my badlands?  I really don't like how narrow the bag is on the badlands, meat and such is hard to load up by yourself and it not exactly water proof.  I how your packs don't cost 600.00!

7,500 cubic inches is a pretty big bag.  If you go on the website (BullPacs.com), we have a quick video that shows the various configurations a guy could put together with what we have to offer.  The Leader of the Pack Combo provides a ton of gear carrying capabilities, but at the same time allows you to reconfigure your set up half a dozen different ways, depending on what you're doing.  Every hunt seems to be a little different and sometimes it's nice to be able to mix and match gear for each different set of circumstances.  A guy can always add to the Bull Pac set up over time and not have to worry about "Oh, we changed that model and now none of the other gear fits on it anymore." 

We tried to provide more specific details on the website so people can visualize various options and get ideas that would mesh with their style of hunting...

We'd be happy to go over specific questions or ideas though.

Thanks!

Am I wrong in thinking the badlands is 7,500 cu in?  I assumed that's what the 7500 meant, I'm not trying to be a wise azz. I just looked at your website, am I correct in saying you have to buy a bag and also the frame?

It may very well be 7,500, but ours Lochsa is only 3,700 and is pretty roomy... 7,500 is over twice that size, so not sure?  Yes, all the components are sold separately so guys can mix and match.  Lots of guys start out with just the frame and then decide they want the day pack for everyday trips where they want the frame for packing a good load of meat out on the first trip, or plan a backcountry hunt, so want to add the Lochsa and extension down the road and have more versatility for numerous configurations on the same trip.  Again, mostly a style/preference thing.
